Epilogue


Starburst shook his head as he watched Nimbus take off. The Pegasus had discovered the Changelings, something that had pretty much been inevitable, but he had a feeling that Nimbus had no idea just how widespread they really were, or just how much potential they had for domination. 

A strange feeling suddenly washed over the pony; it felt as if his bones were shifting and cracking. He doubled over, glancing around him in a panic. Nopony could know; not now. He sprinted across the street to a little diner and bolted inside, causing several ponies to look up in surprise. 

“Ma’am, do you have a bathroom?” he asked a waitress urgently. Confused, the mare pointed him to the back of the building, and Starburst made a beeline for it, almost tripping over a couple leaving their seats. When he finally made it inside, he slammed the door shut and locked it, panting. Then he made his way over to the mirror, exhausted. 

“Over five hundred years,” he breathed, “and I still can’t keep a disguise up for more than a day…” As he watched, tendrils of green magic crept over his features until he was shrouded in light. When the light died down, a nightmarish black-coated green-eyed creature stared back at him from the mirror. He bared his sharp teeth and grimaced. Nimbus had agreed to become his wingpony; the first step was complete. With Chrysalis back, Starburst new it was only a matter of time before things started to roll into place. He could only hope he was ready for them when his queen finally made herself known to the world.
